  • 1.  Incorrectly documented API: Export all Runtime Template Files

    Posted 01/07/20 06:00 AM
    To whom it may concern,

    I realized that in the "Web Services" documentation (Help > Web Services) the API "Export all Runtime Template Files" is incorrectly documented. I am not sure if anyone is aware of that. I've check on both 9.0.6 and 9.0.7 versions, and the information is the same.

    There are 2 mistakes:
    1) The full request url should be: https://{appliance_hostname}/mga/template_files?export=true
    Without the trailing "/" and with complete parameter export=true

    2) No headers should be in the request, except the Authorization header (BA).
    In the documentation it mentions to include the "Accept:application/json"

    I've reconstructed the correct API call from the ibmsecurity Git library, where it is working fine.

    Best,
    Dean

    Hello Dean,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention.  I have forwarded to our development team.
    Perhaps someone in support will also create a Tech Note for this (if appropriate).

    I appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

    Jon.
